Washington State
My landlord is trying to evict me because of 'messy living conditions' and accidental damage to a small area of carpet. I have paid and hired a house cleaner and took care of everything including the carpet. I did default on the cure or quit by not giving a written response. Since then we were served with Eviction Summons & Unlawful Detainer and the landlord's attorney is threatening to file and take us to court unless we comply with a slew of things in a stiipulation including hiring a professional carpet cleaner and paying at our cost even though the damage has been taken care of. (They haven't come in since the compliance check though.)
My question is, since I have fully complied and accepted responsibility for the attorney fees, what are my options? Is it unreasonable to ask for this to be over with and dropped? Do I have any other options that I haven't considered?
Thanks for your thoughts and time.
